Personal

I’ve been to a lot of the San Francisco WordCamps, including the first, and this year’s was the best for me. Everything seemed completely different. My approach was definitely different this year than any other. Instead of shying away from conversations I embraced them. From the conversations I had I was able to get some great feedback for Sprout Apps, and more […]

I was on apply_filters yesterday! I didn’t expect it either. Not a lot of people know this but I’m extremely nervous when it comes to public speaking. I get really uncomfortable, I mumble out nonsense, and sometimes my mind runs an infinite loop of [What the hell did you just say?!]. That’s what happened yesterday before Brad […]

I never wanted to write about this topic but after seeing this today I couldn’t help but share my Alzheimer’s experience. If you watch Seth Rogan’s testimony you’ll briefly hear about his mother-in-law and the complications, conditions and problems they had; my mom had those very same issues, exactly the same. After years of trying […]

The video didn’t end showing how awesome this was but this is the best I have. What’s missing is how close we (snorkel guide with me on the outer part of the reef) got by swimming down, I had given him my camera but I didn’t get a chance to tell him it was already […]

After we went to a Haleiwa (North Shore) beach, Laniakea Beach also known as turtle beach. Watching the turtles eat their […]

Our second day on Honolulu was uneventful and filled with a lot of relaxing, swimming, more relaxing at the beach, relaxing, slides, lazy river and a bit of drinking in between. The kids went to Auntie’s Beach House for some activities while we relaxed and planed our next few days. For dinner we ended up […]

We ventured out first thing in the morning for the long drive back to Hilo. Our plan was to hit up a Ken’s House of Pancakes before our flight but it ended up being a bust; I dropped Sara off with the kids to get a seat and place our orders while I went to […]

Our third full day revolved around a helicopter volcano tour that we would take in the afternoon in Hilo. The drive wasn’t too bad, the kids were surprisingly civil with each other. We walked downtown for a while, shopping in it’s little shops and settling for a mexican restaurant that had some very unique Hawaiian […]
